It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will no longer be updating Aotg.com. Back in 2007, when we started, there was a lack of access to information about film, television, and commercial editing. We wanted to fix that by creating a central location for content about editing to be stored.
Since then, we've watched the amount of content about editing on the internet grow exponentially. We've also watched social media tools come and go with that growth. Does anyone remember Google Wave!? These social media tools changed how people access and search for media and information. People tend to turn to Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for their news and information, and those are all great tools to promote your sites, but as a site that aggregates links to other sites for users, it just doesn't work for us.
We will keep the site live but archive the ability to add links and comments. We will keep our database live with the links for those who desire to use it to search for editing information and research.
Our podcast, The Cutting Room, will move over to the Filmmakeru.com website and will continue to be a place for interviews with editors and other film professionals.
Everyone who worked for Aotg.com loved what we created and are proud that we could help so many editors find content that spoke to them.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the various post events worldwide in the coming years!
Yours truly,
Gordon Burkell
Aotg.com Founder

The V-Ray FrameBuffer allows you to load the various render passes which can be handy to see the initial rendered output for comparison. If however you are using Arnold, this would be a missed feature inside the Maya Render view window.

Can you imagine the ability to edit in just about every NLE known to man? Do you think you could jump back and forth from Premiere to Final Cut Pro X to Avid as easily as you change channels? Well this week on the show we have veteran editor and Video Coalition contributor Scott Simmons to talk about how he does that, and so much more. Scott’s projects include music videos for artists major artists like...

In Part One we looked at how we can use Adobe Dynamic Link to move clips back and forth between Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, just as if they were one application. In this part we’ll look at how to import projects into After Effects, and also how to move from After Effects to Premiere Pro.

We all have our own way to handle language versioning, some may be more effective than others, but the fact remains that if you have a commercial spot with 10 shots that needs to be rendered with four different languages, simple math states that there will be 40 versions.
